Allan wasn't too upset...

A few of us had thought we might be able to come for a garden party his local Quakers were organising.

In the event only Antony made it, and I'd phoned up to say I wouldn't after Allan had left home. I had visions of Allan arriving with no-one else around. 

In the end however they found someone who knew the tunes, borrowed a recorder, and did some jigs.
